Customer’s generally use these numbers for advertising purposes to show a local presence in multiple cities. For example, if you have a customer that is located in Toledo, OH., they may want to also advertise is New York City, Miami and Los Angeles and publish a local number for each city when advertising. All calls that come in from each of these cities will route to their primary account and be answered the same as if a call came into their primary number. Consumers usually respond better to ads with local numbers because they prefer to do business with a local company.
